Liverpool want to sign Man Utd target in January

Liverpool will make an approach to sign Manchester United target Goncalo Inacio during the January transfer window.

Inacio was heavily linked with a Premier League move last summer before he committed to a new long-term deal at Sporting.

This has not ended speculation over his future and reports claim that he could leave as early as the winter transfer window.

A Bola claim that Jurgen Klopp has told the hierarchy to sign Inacio from Sporting as he looks to find a new partner for Virgil van Dijk.

The Dutchman has been a mainstay in central defence for the Reds but he has lacked a reliable partner alongside him this term.

Klopp believes Inacio is the perfect companion for the former Southampton man and a deal could be sealed for €60 million this winter.

Sporting are reluctant to part ways with their prized asset, but they are helpless with €60m being the buy-out clause in his deal.

Inacio would well be a Liverpool player in January.
